Things That I Hear

Penguins Of Madagascar

Before I was even a student of Animation, Madagascar was one of the most visually stunning CG films I've ever seen. The designs were so graphic and solid and full of appeal. Years later I was lucky to join the talented team of Artist at PDI/Dreamworks on the production of Penguins of Madagascar. 

The film was already well into development when I joined, but as always there was plenty to do. It was a crazy ride, and here is some of the work I got to contribute to this fun movie!

One of my favorite assignments was working on Dave's (the octopus) flashback. We played with many different ideas for how to portray this moment. These are some of later explorations. After I was already off the film, my friend and fellow artist Carlos took some of these ideas and pushed them forward to the beautiful keys that were the final images.  

More to come!

The Best Baristas!

Every morning, around 7:48, I stop at Tazza d’Amore to get my cup of coffee for the road. It’s a small little kiosk at the train station, and this is must be the busiest time of the day. But no matter how long the line is, and how cranky the commuters are, these guys always welcome you with a smile, and serve the coffee super fast. Thank you for a bright start!

Baseball Season

This is pretty much how my commute feels like during Baseball season…

Leftover Cuties

Almost 2 years ago my friend yezi introduced me to the Leftover Cuties. I was immediately hooked.
They are lovely band, based in LA (I think), and I was lucky enough to catch them in SF  a few months back. They have been a big part of my daily soundtrack in the past couple of years, and I highly recommend you check them out.

This is a little tribute I felt like doing after many hours of great music. Thanks guys!

and some tunes HERE

Note - The band members seem to all be playing a bunch of instruments, so I hope I didn't mess it up  too bad :)

Happy Valentine's
